DJ Khaled’s childhood in New Orleans was immersed in a world of street-level entrepreneurship, witnessing his parents sell clothing at flea markets and instilling in him the value of hard work.

The family’s success came crashing down when a misguided accountant derailed their retail businesses when Khaled was just 17.

Now 47, Khaled has turned adversity into triumph. A highly accomplished artist and entrepreneur, he’s renowned for his memorable catchphrases and collaborations with hip-hop royalty like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Drake.

Jay-Z acknowledges Khaled’s infectious positivity and ambition, which extends to supporting artists, athletes, and philanthropic initiatives.

Khaled’s success is evident in his lavish Miami Beach residence—a sprawling modern construction with 10 bedrooms, 10.5 bathrooms, two chef’s kitchens, parking for six cars, a private dock, and additional amenities like a recording studio, playground, basketball court, and putting course.

Surrounded by celebrity neighbors, Khaled’s journey reflects resilience and the pursuit of greatness.
